   RECOMMENDED OFFER BY TMN GROUP PLC ("TMN") FOR INTERNET BUSINESS GROUP PLC
                            ("IBG" or the "Company")


  to be effected by means of a Scheme of Arrangement under section 425 of the

                              Reduction of Capital


Following the announcement of 11 February 2008 whereby the Court sanctioned the
Scheme, the Court today confirmed the Reduction of Capital which, once
registered by the Registrar of Companies (which is anticipated to occur on 14
February 2008), will give effect thereby to the acquisition of IBG by TMN.
Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver (if
capable of waiver) of the remaining Conditions set out in the Scheme Document.

The last day for dealings in IBG Shares was 12 February 2008 and the Scheme is
expected to become effective on 14 February 2008. Accordingly, dealings in the
New TMN Shares will commence at 8 a.m. on 14 February 2008 at which time the
listing of the existing IBG Shares will be cancelled.

The definitions used or referred to in the Scheme Document dated 20 December
2007 apply in this announcement, unless the context otherwise requires.
